HORRIBLE TORTURE
Inflicted on Half Starved and
Overworked COnvicts.

Inflicted on Half Starved and
Overworked Convicts.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 26.-For
some reason the full particulars of the
mutiny of the convicts at Coal Creek
cannot be obtained. The Knoxville
Iron company is very reticent
about the affair. Inspector Bur-
rows returned from the mines
this morning and says the troubles have
been settled. On last Thursday, at the
dinner hour, the convicts refused to
leave the mines. They claimed
that the food was SO bad and
the, tasks SO heavy that they
would remain in the mines until better
fare and more humane treatment were
promised. The guards would prom
ise nothing, and the convicts re-
fused to move an inch. Every
effort was made to remove them to the
Stockade peaceably, but they held out
against threats and entreatieS
with all tie determination born of
desperation. Then, it is said, the
guards fired into them, wounding sew
eral negroes, but at any rate Friday
afternoon they shut off the ventilation,
and on Saturday afternoon the convicts
yielded to the men. The closing
of the ventilation shaft drove them
to the mouth OF the mine, and there
they crowded around the opening, fight
ing among themselves for front
seats. They endured the most
eXcrusiating torture before giving ue,
and it is said several of them were ell
tirely exhausted when they surrendered.
Mr.. Burrows states that everything is
quiet. and that he apprehends no further
trouble.

Two Trains Wrecked.

OTTAWA, Ont, Sept. 26.-The ex-
press train which left Ottawa this after
noon for Montreal on the Canada At
lantic railroad, was wrecked three miles
below Eastman's Springs, caused

ceived the danger and slowed up. The
cars were not upset, but simply tore up
the track and stuck in the ground.

THE HADDOCK CASE.
Arensdorf Has to Get New Bonds
men---Munchrath Trial.

Special to the Globe.
SIoUX CITY, To-, Sept. 26.-This fore
noon Arensdorf, under Indictment for
the murder of Rev. George G. Haddock,
was surrendered by his bondsmen and
for short time was in the custody of
the sheriff. The reason was that Will
lam Lerch, one of the bondsmen, desired
to dispose OF some property, and could
not give clear title while the lien of
the bond was upon it. Joseph Borsch.
another bondSman, withdrew for rea-
SONS known only to himself. [, In short
time new bond for $4,000 was Sc
sured. with G. f. Hoyt, James Junk and
Il. Seller as suretieS. Arguments on
the motion for a new trial in the MUNICH
rath case have occupied the entire day.
A very exhaustive argument was made
for the motion by q. w. Argo, and op-'
posed by States Attorney Marsh and
Nj. ID. O'Connel. There are fifteen
counts in the motion and each is treated
at length. 1t is the general impression,
however. that the motion will be denied,
and in that case sentence will be passed
tomorrow. A good share of the day has
been taken up in stating objections to
jurors, who were retained after having
admitted that they had contributed to
the fund raised by the Law and Order
league for the prosecution of the case.
1t was also claimed that the Indictment
was not in proper form, the defect be-
ing serious enough to affect it's legality.

A Frontier Outrage.

PARIS, Sept. 26.-The following de-
tails have been received concerning the
shooting incident on the French-Ger-
man frontier; On Saturday morning a
party of five sportSmen and four beaters
were following path OH French terri
tory seven yards from the frontier when
a person standing behind a clump of
trees Oh the German side. eighty yards
from the frontier, fired three shots at
them. The first bullet did not hit any
one. but the second killed one of the
beaters, named Brignon, and the third
severely wounded gentleman named
Wanger, pupil at the Saumur cavalry
school. The German officials declare
that German soldier named Kauf-
mann, who was detailed to assist the
forest guards in preventing pouching,
fired the shots. Kaufman affirms that
he shouted three times for the party to
halt before firing at them. He believed
that they were on German territory.
The sportsmen declare that they heard
nothing. The officials on both sides of
the frontier are making inquiries into
the shooting.
BERLIN, Sept. GA official order
has been sent to StraSburg for detailed
report of the frontier affair. Commits
SarieS have gone to ascertain the exact
spot where Keeper Brignon and Officer
Wanger were standing when Kaufman
fired. The frontier line where the
shooting occurred is very irregular and
apt to mislead any one. Count Herbert
Bismarck, secretary of the foreign
Office. has sent a friendly note to the
French embassy suggesting an early
communication of the results of the
official inquiry, and the French minister
is authorized to promise ample Justice
and indemnity If ii German official be
found responsible.

ing to Stamp 1t Out.
LONDON, Sept. 26.-The minister of
public instruction at st. Petersburg has
recently made discovery, the object of
which will require most active vigilance
on the part of his lieutenants to follow
up and uproot. He has learned that in
the province of Iver nihilistic doctrines
are spreading with great rapidity, and
that the Russian youth of this province
are becoming fast imbued with the icono-
elastic spirit of the revolutiOnists. liver,
although only short distance from the
capital, has been made the receptacle of
political eXiles from st. Petersburg, and
now they number large percentage of
of the population. That nihilism should
spread, and produce hot bed, as it
were. of anarchists, in province which
is flooded with its prOfeSSed followers. is
not strange. The Russian nihilist of the
better sort is refined, educated man.
1t fact it is among the higher class hat
the doctrines of this creed flourish best,
and philosophers, sophiSts, soldiers and
students are numbered among its ranks.
The young men of Iver have been taken
in hand by these cultivated men, who
have been able to present their ideas in
tlc Iloot pdiulduie SHAPE, anu Tie cOilSe-
quence is that they have succeeded in
their endeavOrs most fully. Since the
discovery by the minister of public in
structiOn of this state of things in Iyer,
the government has exercised the most
stringent surveillance over every town
in the province. Numbers of the exiles
will be transported to other places, and
scattered among other provinces. Strict
search is being made for all kinds of in
cendiary documents, and quantities
have been confiscated by the govern
ment. The youth of the province who
are suspected of being converts to nihil-
ism will be strictly watched, for the
government is aroused.

some years, called upon the chief of de-

with whom he had lived for sixteen

Forrest and his mistress, and finally
given position in the establishment.
Last August, Mr.. Forrest states, he was
absent from Billings for several weeks,
during which time the hotel was de-
stroyed by fire. Upon his return his
wife, aS he had recognized the woman,
complained OF illness and was sent by
him to st. Paul with S2,200rin bank
drafts, which, he says, she converted
into cash and married Thompson, who,
with the woman, was finally traced to
this city by means of the formers
trunk. Upon Mr.. Forests arrival
here he located the pair and had them
arrested, when the woman acknowl-
edged that she still had S1,7O0 of the

The Possibility OF His Breaking
Down Causes Some Speculation
About the Vice Presidency.
Special to the Globe. --..
WASHINGTON. Sepl. 26.-The con-
tinued serious illness of Gen.J. G. Black,
commissioner of pensions, is exciting
the gravest apprehensions among his
friends. During the past year it is gen
orally conceded that the general has
failed in health very much. Naturally
of a strong and rugged constitution. he
has been literally worn out with pain
and suffering. His wounded arms seem
constantly charged with rheumatic
pains, which thrill like electric shocks
his entire body and rack him as one tor
tured by fiends. The original shocks
of the wounds received in battle would
have killed an ordinary man; but he re-
covered and has lived an active, useful
life. But, in the later years the attacks
have recurred more frequently, and his
health has become impaired by reason
of mere attrition from pain. The conse-
quences of his possible demise have been
seriously considered during the past few
days.
IT SEEMS GENERALLY CONCEDED
amongst Old soldiers of the Democratic
nation of Gen Black for the vice presi-
dency. and that their desires will be
respected. But, if he should not live
and be in sufficient health to make the
race, who should they present? Their
next choice would be SlOcum, of New
York, but he comes from the same state
as the president, and that would be out
of the question. Col. Morrison of Illi-
nOis, would probably be their second
choice. The distinguished commerce
commissioner is vigorous and sturdy.
He is well known and has an enviable
record as a statesman. Next to him
stands Villas, of Wisconsin, while the
friends of Gen. Weaver, of Iowa, are
not inactive in pressing the claims of
their leader. There is great deal de-
pending upon the life and future cont
dition of Gen. Black. 1t is hoped that
he may recover his normal strength, but
his physicians will not give that hope.
They do say that it is believed by them
that the general will soon be again at
his office, but they are caseful not to
give much hope of his continued health

CHICAGO, Sept. 26.-Oscar Neebe,
the anarchist, is in Joliet. He was
taken there with much secrecy by the
sherlff's deputies tonight. None of his
friends knew he was to be taken away
SO suddenly and to none of them did he
say goodbye. At s o'clock tonight, a
coupe driven by deputy sheriff
stopped in the shadow of. the criminal
court building and Deputy Sheriffs
Gleason, Spears and Hubbard alighted
and went into the jail. Ben Price, the
Jail clerk was waiting for them. They
understood each other, and without any
ado Price unlocked the inner doors and,
followed by Gleason and Spears,
tramped up the iron stairway to the
second gallery, where the condemned
anarchists are. Lights were burning in
all the cells. Neebe'S cell door was un-
locked and Spears told him he wanted
to talk with him in the Jail office. The
party then went quietly down stairs.
When the Office door was closed, Spears
said:
well, Neebe, we are going to take
you to Joliet tonight"
? Cant see my friends? Can't see
my lawyer, Capt. Black?" calculated
mo"
Neebe then asked to be allowedto
CHANGE HIS CLOTHES.
A turnkey brought down his best suit
of clothes and clean linen. He put
them Oh, then held out his wrists for
the manacles with which Gleason had
been playing. He was first handcuffed
alone and then the. deputy sheriffs
(; changed their minds and chained his
right wrist to Spears's left. The party
then left the Jail. Gleason told the
guards at the jail to lock the
door and keep the reporters back.
They did so with force and impris-
-oned them for several minutes and un-
the Chicago Il Alton railroad. When
delayed reporter reached that depot he
found that the fast express for st. Louis
was just pulling out. The sNeebe party
was aboard. The train arrived at Joliet
at 1925, and the prisoner was at once
hurried to the prison. A telegram had
told Warden McClaughey that Neebe
was coming. Deputy Hubbard did not
go to Joliet. He stated that the sheriff
had thought best to have Neebe taken
to Joliet secretly for fear of an out
break and an attempt at rescue.

AN INSURRECTION
Reported Among the Blacks of
MatagOrda County, Tex.

Reported Among the Blacks of
MatagOrda County, Tex.
Houston, Tex, Sept. 26.-WOrd was
brought i'll last night that an insurrec-
tion was imminent among the blacks in
Matagorda County. The sheriff of Mat
agOrda county sent courier to Sheriff
Hickey, of BraZoria county, ask
ing for immediate assistance to
put down an insurrectiOn. The
courier stated that over 200 negroes
were under arms in Matagorda, and the
excitement among the whites was great.
The trouble arose over an attempt of a
cOlored constable to arrest white man
who resided on Caney creek. The
constable was found dead, ly-
ing in the creek. The negroes
believe that white men of the vicinity
murdered the constable because he had
warrant for one of their number.
Later reports last night stated that
Sheriff Hickey had raised posse of
fifty mounted white men and started for
Matagorda while the sheriff of Matagorda
was en- route to the scene of the trouble
with 100 mounted men. AT noon to-day
an alarming report reached the city that
the sheriff forces had arrived and active
hestilities had begun. The negroes
have been largely reinforced. The
Houston Light guards have just re-
ceived orders to leave on special train
for the town of Columbia, BraZoria
county.

cision. He said: ''Then Sharp goes to

be taken to the court of appeals in the
face of the unanimous decision of the
justices of oyer and terminer.' Sharp

evening. He was not much affected by
